NHTSA Complaint #11572187 — 2019 FORD ECOSPORT

I tried contacting Ford and they told me to contact the dealer. My car smells like burnt oil and then I got this recall notice. I called Yark and Brondes dealerships and both refuse to do a diagnostic on my car unless I pay them for a 1/2 day's wages or $160 or more. They both acknowledged knowing about the recall. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and am really upset they won't do a free diagnostic to confirm I do not have a fractured engine oil pump drive belt tensioner arm. My Powertrain is still under warranty, and they still will not do the diagnostic free unless I have a problem. If I do have a problem, they don't have the part to fix it. In the meantime, I risk burning up my engine or having it catch on fire. I park my car in an attached garage so a potential car fire while in my garage is a risk to my safety. The car could literally burn down my house. I am told Ford won't issue parts until 2nd quarter of 2024. In the meantime, the dealerships and Ford will not help their customers and just leave them stranded. I had a Ford Milan, and they did this stall tactic on the Takata airbags. I never did get that recall completed and I tried to get the dealers to replace it multiple times. I finally was forced to turn the car in for a new lease. I was too scared to drive it. I hope you can help me. I am more than willing to let you inspect my car anytime. The engine warning light has not yet come on but when I turn off the car it does smell like burnt oil. I have kept up on all oil changes. I don't see oil leaking onto garage floor. Bottom line my safety is being put at risk while Ford plays the waiting game for profit. I am a senior and disabled. My only way of getting around is this car since I live in the country.
